Acting white vs. Acting French

Here is billionaire Hillary Clinton jihadi, Lynn Forrester on Obama:

"We're not going to win by pretending problems with Barack Obama don't exist. He has a huge problem connecting with ordinary Americans, who think, 'He doesn't understand me.' He is not modest; he is arrogant. He radiates elitism."

This was Forrester conclusion after Obama compromised on the roll-call. But there's more:

"Barack Obama can use the words 'the American dream', but they don't resonate," she said. "He magnified the problem by going to Berlin and calling himself a citizen of the world."

This from a woman who lives in New York and London. Negroes, after this election I don't want to hear anything about "acting white." This whole election has been code for "Acting French." Truly xenophobic anti-intellectualism at its highest. Props to Leon Panetta for putting the idiots in context:

"There is a sense of entitlement that almost seems to be inbred," Panetta said. "They are convinced Hillary is the one who should be assuming the mantle and it's tough to crack that."

The brothers have a name for an inbred "sense of entitlement." But we are in polite company. Come see me on 125th if you wanna be down.
